Synopsis
Club Monaco is a mid-priced retailer currently owned by Polo Ralph Lauren (1999). Originally founded with the opening of a Toronto store on Queen Street West by designers Alfred Sung and Joe Mimran, Club Monaco was known for black and white styles, but has since expanded the color palette of it's selection.
The company bills itself as "urban casual," a style, it says, is a "sophisticated play of opposites: mixing vintage with new, hard with soft and eclectic with minimal." Club Monaco carries well tailored classics in addition to more experimental styles such as inverted knits and hemp blend tees. Club Monaco's pricing places it in line with J Crew, compared with whom its overall aesthetic is more refined.
The store frequently offers "30% off Already Reduced Merchandise" sales, a standing 20% student discount, and free economy shipping.
Has or currently carries items from Filson, Wood & Faulk, Sunspel, Barbour, Aether, Gloverall, 3sixteen, J. Panther, Chapman, Ernest Alexander, Topo, Smathers & Branson, Rancourt, Mark Mcnairy, Clarks, Persol, and London Undercover.

User Reviews and Notes
- On sale, club monaco's shirts are some of best fitting I've found for the price and are very accommodating of smaller chest sizes. The also make very tasteful plaids. That said, the quality is inconsistent and stray threads are common. I've also seen shirts with rippling along the seams and inconsistent neck holes. So, quality control isn't great as far as the shirting goes, but some of them are really very nice. You just have to ferret out the good from the bad. The men's outerwear seems to be a weak point in the brand, but that's true of a lot of stores operating in this price range. Sweaters and knits, however, are very nice as is, surprisingly, their denim.
